Many four-letter words in the English language have a very bad reputation, but personally we think this particular THREE-letter word is the most terrible of all!
WAR 戦争
- War is fighting between two or more groups of people (for example, between countries) over a period of time.
Be careful:
The great war that was fought from 1939 to 1945 can be called "World War Two" or "the Second World War", but NOT "World War the Second". - war は、2つ以上の集団(例:国家間)が、ある期間戦うこと、つまり、戦争という意味です。
注意:
1939年から1945年まで続いた大戦のことは、World War Two または、the Second World War と呼びます。World War the Second とは言いません。
- During the war, my grandmother lived in the country because the cities were too dangerous.
- We went to war against their country when I was just 15 years old.
- The two countries were at war with each other for eight long years.
- My uncle came back from Vietnam a war hero, but he spent the rest of his life working for peace between nations.
- During the Cold War, many people were afraid there might be a nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union.
- World War I (pronounced "one") was supposed to be "the war to end all wars", but World War II (pronounced "two") began just 21 years later.
Stay happy, today and every day!
